under "domestication" section of this article. Remove falsely cited graphic. Map titled "chicken domestication and dispersal" is cited as being from citation [42] DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186%2Fs12915-020-0738-1. If you read the cited article, two things become apparent: 1. the map is not from the article, only created using some information from the article. Clearly, this graphic is not from a peer-reviewed source seeing as it lists the "AD" after the year, not before. And 2. some of the information in the graphic is from an un-cited source. the cited article makes no mention of domestication dates in the Americas. Needs proper citation (and grammar).

The article currently defines a cockerel as "a young male chicken less than a year old," and cites to reference.com (sketchy?), which no longer includes the time restriction, and even in the archived page, it was wishy-washy. Many dictionaries don't include a specific age constraint, and the current entry in the OED notes the less than a year old factor, but then goes on to say there is a wider definition of "any age," and that the wider sense prevails in popular use. I'm not sure how much "popular use" there is of the word cockerel, but in any case, I don't think it's appropriate define it in such absolute terms on this page. I have tagged it dubious. (Also not sure about the use of reference.com). jhawkinson ( talk) 13:39, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I recently discovered that chickens are actually more intelligent than once thought, with reports of them using sticks as tools or hijacking scientific tests. I will be on the look out for more reliable sources, but until then, can you all be on the lookout for anything on this topic? Thank you. Theinfinitenobody ( talk) 23:18, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
